The new moon sits pretty in Libra come 10/21/2025 bringing a lot of balance and if you don't have it yet, I hate to break it to you but the universe will force it.

Come join us howl at the moon (literally) and drink a little, and eat a little sweet treats on 10/21/2025.

All my love,

Shay

I am completely blown away at an amazing opportunity to be feature on a podcast with

Liberation is Lit.

You can find them at: https://liberationislit.com/pages/our-story

About them and WHY this is so amazing:

Why this is amazing you ask? Well, as Liberation puts it:

There is a shift happening in the world of...

I have the pleasure of being able to attend The Lucky Gemini's Full Moon event on October 6th, 2025 from 6-8p at Kinship EAST.

I have my yoga mat, my journal, and all my spirituality almost too excited to wait even!

As someone who has a love affair with the moon, I can not wait to see what my girl has to offer.

y'all catch me there,

I have been lucky enough to set up my second book signing through Barnes & Noble which will be hosted at Barnes & Noble in Pineville, NC!! My MOST frequented Barnes & Noble. Often the place I go to hang out and just enjoy the smell of new books and sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while I read or even do some homework.

I will be there from 2p-5pm to of course talk about my books but to have some fun.

And yes....I will always have goodies ( ;

All my gratitude,

Shay

One of my first events before I was actually published was Poetica. The space, the people, the talent, and the art all sent me into this catastrophic forward momentum to find my footing as a confident and inspirational poet. I always KNEW I was one, internally. However embodying that energy around people I found myself shy, scared, and even insecure.

I have been lucky enough to set up my second book signing through Barnes & Noble which will be hosted at Barnes & Noble in Greenville, SC!! One of my MOST FAVORITE places to hang out for the weekend.

I will be there from 12p-4pm to of course talk about my books but to have some fun.

And yes....I will always have goodies ( ;

All my gratitude,

I come with a huge excitement (but the nerves are nerving already)!!

On August 23, 2025 I will be participating in Charlotte Book Lovers Expo to which is an amazing opportunity for author, poets, and artists to come sit within their community and not only tell their story but also get to hear stories and testimonies of others.

I am EXTREMELY excited and will be having my third book 'Unlearning Forever' debuting at this expo. The spine will be broken for the FIRST TIME here at Charlotte Book...

I had the MOST AMAZING experience at a poetry workshop & open mic here in Charlotte, NC.

The people I met, got to listen to, and just vibe with was unmatched. To sit in a space to feel seen, like actually SEEN, not only lifted my spirits but gave me the feeling of PEACE.

I can't wait to attend this event again, should there be more.

My take away from this event is,

just.do.it

All my love,

Shay
